Anti-Unionism is the Date Rape of Corporate Crime - By Nathan Newman, Labor Blog
As this study highlights, a typical union organizing drive starts with a majority of workers signing cards in support of having a union. Yet in the course of the elections, corporations embark on full-scale illegal assault on their workforce:
* 30% of employers fire pro-union workers.
* 49% of employers threaten to close a worksite when workers try to form a union.
* 51% of employers coerce workers into opposing unions with selective bribery or favoritism.
The end result is that despite starting almost every union drive with majority support, by the time the corporate wave of crime is over, only 31% of union elections end with a vote in support of the union.------------------------------------------- posted 5:02 AM :: reference link ::
